What is the best or at least the top two sperm banks and fertilization clinics in Toronto? Figured this is the most appropriate place to start this discussion.
I've always been uncertain about wanting to have kids...let me rephrase that, I'm pretty darn sure I don't want them. But life changes, I might meet a partner who I would want to make it work with. Who knows. Bottom line is I want full control of my reproductive rights and the way I have come to see it is the only way in this world for a man to truly have that control is to have a vasectomy. I've wanted one for the past ten years but was scared into not moving forward years ago by my Doctor who advised that the success rate of UNDOING a vasectomy is only 33% which is contrary to the commonly held views I've heard in the wild that would lead you to believe its 100% guaranteed. Suffice to say I wasn't ready to completely shut the door at that time.
Now I'm a bit older, more financially able lets say and more certain of my situation. I also have seen infertile couples have children through the miracle of modern medicine. I want to explore the possibility of freezing my sperm, storing it in a sperm bank and using in vitro fertilization with a partner if I ever want to have children. I know its expensive and not guaranteed but the way I look at it is it is FAR less expensive than making a mistake and having children with a woman you do not want to have them with (two problems wrapped in one!!). The reasons I want to do this are:
1) I want to fuck my committed girlfriends without using condoms.
2) I don't want to be trapped by any woman ever.
3) I don't want to have children. At least not until I am 10000% ready and I want to engineer a situation where I get the final and ultimate say regardless.
4) I certainly don't want to end up with multiple baby mamas
So I suppose this thread will likely go in two directions. Info on the clinics and things to consider that I've missed plus the usual criticism/support of my point of view. Let the games begin.
